Gibson Les Paul Studio

This is a really nice 1995 Les Paul studio.  It was recently refinished in a beautiful black metalflake. (The flake doesn't show up well in the pictures, but it sparkles under direct light)  It doesn't come with any hardware aside from the bridge & tailpiece bushings and studs.  The frets are in perfect condition, no wear.   There is zero playtime on the new finish.  As part of the customization that was being done, the hole for the toggle switch was filled in (It is undetectable in the new finish)  If you wish, it could be easily drilled out again.
   Unfortunately, while it was at the painters, the neck took on a twist and backbow.  (The guitar was fine before that)  so now I have a perfectly painted PROJECT guitar, which is not what I was after.....
So I am selling it, and someone with more time on their hands can try and fix/finish it.Be aware, this is not an easy fix... sometimes the neck can be heated and clamped back into position.  Since it was fine before, I am hopeful that it can go back to it's original shape...  I did string it up with 11s to see if it would pull the neck back straight. it was playable, but not ideal.
So, if you want a nice looking guitar, with a chance it could become a great playing guitar, feel free to bid.  look at the pictures carefully. make sure this is something you would want to tackle before bidding.  it is being sold as-is, no refunds unless it was damaged in shipping.  Please ask any and all questions before bidding.  
This auction now includes the original hardshell case! It's the black one with black fuzzy lining, gibson on the front
I will only ship to North America.Thanks for looking! again, please ask any questions before bidding. I have perfect feedback, and would like to keep it that way!
